Italian here, my aunt used to live in Ireland and I've always found so strange that you guys (and Brits too tbh) drive on the left in Europe.

Most, or at least many things here are the way they are because that’s the way the Brits do it.

I once drove in a country where they drive on the opposite side. The problem I had was exiting roundabouts. I’m well used to them here, but for some reason when I’m going the opposite way around a roundabout, none of the exits look right.

I think I went around the roundabout three times while discussing it with the lads in the car.
